For a physical system, two observables O1 and O2 are known to be compatible. Choose the correct implication from amongst those given below.

A. Every eigen state of O1 must necessarily be an eigen state of O2

B. Every non-degenerate eigen state of O1 must necessarily be an eigen state of O2

C. When an observation of O1 is carried out on an arbitrary state $$\left| \psi \right\rangle $$ of the physical system, a subsequent observation of O2 leads to an unambiguous result

D. Observation of O1 and O2, carried out on an arbitrary state $$\left| \psi \right\rangle $$ of the physical system, lead to the identical results irrespective of the order in which the observations are made
